so, i've been sick. other than that nothing too interesting has happened. i finally started my internship for real....yesterday was my first day of actual work. i'm excited and nervous. i'm not sure what i'm really supposed to be doing....but i'll figure it out.

today i will have to take the city bus from school to work. i'm nervous. i've ridden the public transportation here, but only the "nice" buses. the nice busses cost 8 pesos (roughly 75 cents USD), are air conditioned and a good majority of riders are american/canadian/white tourists. the other busses cost 4 pesos (roughly 40 cents USD) and are very shabby looking.

the bus that i have to take doesn't really go by my workplace, but it gets me close enough. i'm nervous about how to get off. because everytime i have gotten off a bus it's been very awkward. i usually just get up when i get an inkling that the bus is going to stop or when someone else has pressed the button.

the buttons don't always work either. so then i'm afraid that i'll actually have to say something in order to get off! that would be terrible! jajaja....

i'm sure i'll be fine. but i tend to freak out.....
